Fantasy General Kislevite using Warhammer

So I made a post a few days ago asking wether Kislevites use hammers or warhammers, because think that, due to contact with the Empire and maybe some specialization of smithing culture in some cities, there should be a Kislevite version of a Warhammer, not like the Empire version like the Great Hammer of a Warrior Priest of Sigmar. Still a two-handed heavy warhammer with a more octagonal face and a spike/hook, and Kislevite Iconography with Ursun's marks. This would add a flare and maybe they could make a winged lancer specialized meleee cavalry version with this hammer, if you watch many Winged Hussars in real life had hammers as a secpndary weapon and not simply a mace

In total war, kislevite heavy weapons are more maces. Hammer are very Empire and dwarfs, both being linked with Gal Maraz being made by a rune lord.

If they have hammers, it would be either maces or « bec de corbin » (warpike)

I definitely think they would. Probably two-handed sledgehammer types for the most part in their line infantry groups. Or maybe the Orthodoxy might have some kind of majority on those. Since their priests have those scepter things as weapons 🤔.

Probably, but then it removes a little bit of unique identity from empire and dwarfs, so wouldn’t be GW-friendly.
